A theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of ferrite slab roughness on modes conversion is presented. A perturbation method, developed in the case of an anisotropic medium, allows the computation of direct and reflected fields in the structure, for a given roughness. A good agreement between theory and experiment has been found with three different roughness. Two examples of particular applications for isolator structure improvement, i.e. very low insertion losses and very broad band devices, are given.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129460275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many such carriers separated in frequency and transmitted simultaneously via the same satellite give rise to the frequency division multiple access (f.d.m.a.) system. In the past few years the increase in traffic demand (mainly for telephony circuits) has had an important impact on satellite communication systems. It has spurred the search for more efficient modulation/multiple access schemes to enable satellites operating in restricted frequency bands to achieve greater capacity. The second major advance has been an end to the global system dominance of satellite systems with a new era of domestic,and regional satellite systems. Already systems are in operation in the U.S.A., Canada and Indonesia viLa dedicated satellites and in Algeria and Brazil via leased INTELSAT transponders.
